A Good Suggestion,

A good suggestion was recently made
to the LIGHT by Frank Scott, Lacy Rob-
ertson and some other colored men Of
this city. 1t was an iDtimation that
some movement should be made by the
colored citizens for the building OF an
educational institution for high grade
school, In which young men and women
Of their race might receive the advan-
tages Of culture superior to that at
present obtalnable In this city by per-
sons OF their race. These men suggested
that instead Of sending their money
abroad to build up institutions of learn
ing at other places, they retain their
money here, and take steps to erect a
college In some eligible location contigu-
GUS to this city, and open classes for the
instruction OF the young men and wo-
men who desire to avail themselves Of
the advantages such classes would offer.
These men are OF the opinion that such
q school could be started here under IA
vorable conditions, II the colored people
and their white friends would put their
shoulders to the wheel and take action
on the matter. 1t is the desire Of those
who have spoken OF this thing, that q
meeting Of the oolored people interested
In their race and its higher education be
called, and that this matter of q college
be submitted to them for consideration.
The LIGHT suggests that the represen-
tative colored people Of this city talk
this matter over quietly and earnestly,
and II they come to the conclusion that
it is advisable to call such a meeting as
is suggested, let them set the time and
fix the place and the LIGHT will give no.
tiOe accordingly.

The Centennial Opens,

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. l5.-The first
Centennial OF the events OF the revolu-
tiOnary times began this morning. Phil
adelphia and her hundreds of thousands
OF guests appeared on the streets early
this morning In their holiday garb. All
day yesterday and last night
visitors, including distinguished guests,
military, and firemen, arrived by
every possible conveyance, and a dozen
railroad depOts were taxed to the ut
most In accommodating the throngs
which had flooked to the "Cradle Of
Liberty" to bear witness by their pres
ence Of their love and veneration for
that historic document which gave
them liberty and freedom. 1t
is safe to say that there are at least
two hundred thousand visitors from a
distance. In addition to the thousands
from the adjacent counties OF Pennsyl-
ysnis, New Jersey, Delaware and Mary
land. Hardly state or territory re-
mains unrepresented. In the days fes-
tival the streets today presented an ap-
pearance that is lovely In the extreme.
In all directions a. far as the eye can
reach 1t was one mass OF bunting
and decorations. The monster civic and
industrial pageant started from Broad

O'Clock, and marched to Broad and

and then oountermarched to the start
Ing point, passing through one continu-
GUS line OF observation stands, gaily
decorated with the flags OF all nations.

The u. s. Building.

Correspondence Is still eked out con-

government building ordered at this
point. Nothing new Is ELECTED In this
correspondence. The plans drawn three
months since are still in the hands of
the superintendent OF construction, who
Is preparing specifications and drawings
upon which bids for construction will be
predioated. The Specifications will be
returned to the department In about ten
days, and ifapproved the advertisement
for bids will at once follow. After that
the work will probably be put under
way and construction begun. 1t Is not
very likely that much will be accom-
plished this season, or at least before the
close Of the year, as 1t will be fully two
months before the contract can be
